Help Your Senior Parent Enjoy their Holiday Season
The holiday season is a time for family members to gather and enjoy holiday traditions together. Often times the needs of elderly loved ones are overlooked, which in turn can lead to depression and isolation. Santa Clarita Comfort Keepers are the expert on elderly caregiving services, and we have a few simple tips to ensure your elderly family members feel loved and included during this festive time of the year.
Gifts
One of the easiest ways to make an elderly family member feel loved during the holiday season is by getting them a simple gift. There is no need to get anything expensive or elaborate- Just presenting them with a thoughtful gift can mean the world. Gifts let the elderly know that they have not been forgotten and that they are still loved and appreciated. Santa Clarita is home to many shopping centers, making it easy to grab a gift while running errands.
Social Gatherings
Human interaction is one of the most fundamental needs for people of all ages, but it is especially important for the elderly. Simply including the elderly in your holiday celebrations will allow them ample time to mingle and socialize with relatives, and even give them an opportunity to make new friends.
Activities
As the human body ages, it can be difficult to do the same activities that were once simple at a younger age, simply due to aches, pains, and slower movement. Sometimes this physical barrier alienates the elderly from their families if they are excluded from certain excursions or activities. By making an effort to include your elderly loved one at family excursions, it will make them feel loved and included. Even if they cannot participate in certain activities, just being in the presence of other family members will provide them with comfort and happiness. Santa Clarita is a family friendly community with plenty of activities that you can enjoy as an entire family, so be mindful of including your elderly loved ones.
Comfort Keepers are Santa Clarita’s expert on elderly caregiving, and this holiday season we want to make sure that your loved ones feel the joy and spirit during this festive time of the year. By following these easy tips, you will make a world of a difference for your elderly loved ones, helping them feel the magic and love of the holiday season.
